- Standards
- Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) adopted by the Public Oversight, Accounting and Auditing Standards Authority (Kamu Gözetimi Kurumu, KGK) under Law No. 660. Converged with IFRS. Updates tracked with a short lag from IFRS revisions.
- Two parallel tracks
- Statutory accounts under the Turkish Uniform Chart of Accounts (TDHP) for tax purposes, sitting alongside TFRS / IFRS accounts for management, audit, and investor reporting. The bridge between the two is documented and refreshed each period.
- Mandatory audit thresholds
- KGK criteria trigger statutory audit when two of three are met: total assets above the threshold, annual net revenue above the threshold, employees above the threshold (currently around ₺200M / ₺400M / 200). Banks, insurance, and listed companies are always audited. We prepare the file for any audit, mandatory or voluntary.
- IAS 29 inflation accounting
- Türkiye triggered IAS 29 hyperinflation accounting from fiscal year 2023 when cumulative 3-year inflation crossed the 100% threshold. Non-monetary balance sheet items, comparatives, and the income statement are restated. We apply the restatement and document the methodology so the auditor accepts it.
- Revenue recognition for game studios
- IFRS 15 distinguishes point-in-time recognition (paid downloads, perpetual licences) from over-time recognition (subscriptions, service contracts, microtransactions tied to ongoing service). Service-export revenue gets the same IFRS treatment regardless of the Turkish-tax exemption. We classify each revenue stream cleanly.
- Severance accrual
- IAS 19 requires severance liability to be measured under the projected unit credit method (actuarial), not the statutory cap formula. We compute and book the IAS 19 accrual quarterly and reconcile it to the statutory ceiling for the audit.
- Foreign-currency translation
- Books are kept in TRY (the functional currency for a Turkish operating entity). For parent reporting, P&L translated at average rates, balance sheet at closing rates, equity at historic rates, with translation differences flowing through other comprehensive income (OCI) under IAS 21.
- Audit-readiness criteria
- Trial balance auditable, supporting schedules ready (revenue, fixed assets, payroll, intercompany, tax), TFRS adjustments documented, IAS 29 restatement defensible, intercompany flows tied to the IP and Royalty Agreements. The format is what makes a 6-week audit a 6-week audit instead of a 12-week one.
